Memory Storage
There are 112 programmable memories. These con-
sist of 100 regular memories divided into 10 banks,
along with 6 special-purpose memories (L1, L2, U1,
U2, PAl and HOME) for each band. Normally, the ten
memory banks are divided evenly, providing 5 banks
(50 memory channels) each for VHF and UHF.
If
you
need more memories on a particular band, you can
transfer banks as needed (see the box to the right).
Each memory can store separate receive and trans-
mit frequencies or repeater shift, and CTCSS tone
data. The Home channel memory is recalled in-
stantly by pressing']). The L1 & U 1 and L2 & U2
memories can be used in pairs to store the program-
mable tuning and scanning limit as described later, in
addition to general purpose operation. The PRI
memory can be used for priority channel monitoring.
You can assign alphanumeric (AlN) names up to 6
characters long to each memory, and have it dis-
played by name rather than frequency. Memories
that have not been named are still displayed in the
usual
3 -

format, so you can mix and select
the way memories are displayed.
A choice of 60 different characters is available, with
24 special-purpose symbols to customize your name
tags (see the table on page
48).
While programming
frequency and operating settings into a memory, you
can assign it a name. Refer to menu function 1, on
page 62.
Transferring Memory Banks
The ratio between VHF and UHF memory banks can
be changed as needed. Hold the o~S button while
turning the transceiver on. The display appears as
below showing the present memory bank ratio:
UHF 5 E:Rt·WS I')HF 5 E:Rt·U:::S
Press

to select the ratio you need, then press
the PIT to save and exit. Note! previously-stored
channel data is lost when performing this procedure!

Recalling Memories
Previously, we used ~to change from the VFC
mode to the memories after they were stored. ThE

After at least one memory has been stored, you car
